HOBOKEN —Someone broke into St. Ann's Church on Jefferson Street, taking an unknown amount of cash and attempting to break into cabinets containing gold chalices, Hoboken police said.

The burglary occurred sometime between 9:45 p.m. Oct. 30 and 6:15 a.m. on Oct. 31, according to police reports. Father Remo DiSalvatore came into church Halloween morning and noticed that the building's two side doors were closed but unlocked, police report.

Once inside, DiSalvatore saw that the doors to his office on the first floor had been forced open and that a safe inside had been moved but left unopened, according to reports. The door to an office on the second floor had also been forced open, and cash left on a desk in the office was missing, according to reports. The amount of money is currently unknown, reports indicate.

The burglar also broke into the church's sacristy, a room where vestments and furnishings are kept, and tampered with a cabinet containing gold chalices, police said.

The break-in is still under investigation and no suspects have been publicly identified.
